Brunswick actress gets a nice surprise on Broadway: Whit & Whimsey

SURPRISE: Brunswick’s own Trista Moldovan was surprised between shows by the Broadway “Phantom of the Opera” company, where she plays Christine. She says the cast “Made me feel like a princess with a bridal shower to beat the band. Really overwhelmed in the best way possible.” Trista is engaged to marry Stephen Tewksbury.

BABIES:Ken and Dorothy Strauss are now grandparents to two new granddaughters and couldn’t be more thrilled. Leila Carolina Carlo was born July 19 to their daughter Gretchen Strauss and her husband, Alberto Carlo. Then, Annabelle Christine Strauss came along to proud parents Chris and Kim Strauss.

IMPORTANT PAPERS: The Brunswick Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association and Cintas Corp. will hold a paper Document Disposal/Shredding Day from 10 a.m. to noon Sept. 24 in the city hall parking lot, 4095 Center Road.

It’s a crazy thought, but I actually look forward to
television commercials that are NOT political. I have my hand on the
mute button all the time now. I just don’t want to hear it any longer. I
do, however, like PolitiFact, that actually checks to see if political
statements are true (whether I like it or not). It’s really even-handed
and non-partisan (hooray!). For those of you who get a bunch of stuff in
email – PolitiFact is kind of like the Snopes of that domain – sort out
the truth from the fiction.
